Andreas Schliessler is a Transport Economist and Transport Infrastructure Specialist with more than 22 years of international work experience. He has been the driving force behind the development of the World Bank's Sample Bidding Document for Performance-based Management and Maintenance of Roads, and the practical implementation of this concept in World Bank-financed contracts.
He began his career at an international freight forwarding company in Germany, but quickly moved on to work as a consultant specializing in transport planning and road, rail and port infrastructure. In the 1990s, he worked with the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean where he developed new approaches for road network management and conservation.
He also proposed the idea of performance-based management and maintenance of road networks which has since been implemented in several countries. Numerous assignments have taken him to more than 40 countries, mostly in Latin America, Africa and Europe.
